Winery | A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Malbec varietals sourced from selected vineyard sites in the Marlborough region ensured the fruit reached the optimum flavour intensity before the sugar levels became too high. The vines are cultivated using a sustainable approach with minimal vineyard sprays, open canopy management to provide good light and airflow, leaf plucking, fruit, and shoot thinning. The fruit was carefully selected and machine harvested on a cool night to retain fresh flavours. |
